Real World Map for Civ3???

Archived from groups: alt.games.civ3 (More info?)

For Civ2, there was the possibility of starting on a "real world" map of the
globe (at least as accurately as the program could make it), with the
various rival Civilizations starting out in their respective areas.

Is there such a map for Civ3? If so, where to download it?

I think there is a Marla Maples world map somewhere that has realistic start
positions on it.

Original starting locations - great - but aside the capital having
already a world with cities, units etc. (but only original,
Vanilla/PTW/C3C stuff) is more or less what I´m looking for. In PBEM
games, it´s just tedious to wait the first 50 turns before any contact at
all happens.
